A medical device includes a rechargeable lithium-ion battery for providing
power to the medical device. The lithium-ion battery includes a positive
electrode including a current collector, a first active material, and a
second active material. The lithium-ion battery also includes a negative
electrode including a current collector, a third active material, and a
quantity of lithium in electrical contact with the current collector of
the negative electrode. The second active material exhibits charging and
discharging capacity below a corrosion potential of the current collector
of the negative electrode and above a decomposition potential of the
first active material.
